not  surpassed  during  the  wiur,  fn  the  boldness  of  Its

General  M<Arthur  who  conceived  and  condocteftnie

J<o  one  could  have  managed  his  resources  with  more 
prudence  and  effect.    His  officers- and  men  were  also

Tke  war  with  ^tLCreek  IndianB  in  the  math. 


Mating  brQught  par  ^inW  of  the  ot>«l«itiona  m  the 
northwest  to  a  conclusion^  we  propose  in  the  last  place  ^ 
to  give  some  accouitt  of  those  transactions  in  th^aoath- 
west,  in  which  th^  militia  from  the  states^qf  TeiiraiBssee 
and  Kentucky  were  chiefly  concerpted,  « 

We  have  seen  in  tfaer  early  pai4  of  rtHaJbiatory,  that 
the  intrigues  pf  the  British  before  tfai,^ary  were  not  ' 
confined  to  the  northwestern  Indians  alone^  but  were 
also  extended  to  those  residing  south  of  Tennessee  and 
west  of  Geon^ia,  in  "the  Mississippi  tenritory  and  the 
Fibridas.  When  the  battle  of  Tippecaqee  was  fo^bt| 
nHecumseh  was  absent  from  his  own  cwintry  on  a  jjour- 
ney  of  intriguiB  among  thp  southern  Indians,  for  .the 
purpose  of  engaging  them  in  the  British  interest.  It  is 
pronabUi  that  out  few  of  the  British  ajgents  in  Ctuiada 
were  so  enterprising  as  to  traverse  our  extensive  froD<* 
tier  from  the  north^  Ufces  to  the  Mexican'  gulf  in 
person ;  but  they  did  not  fail  for  many  years  beiore  thee 
war>  and  durutg  its  whole  continuance,  to  Jieep  up  a, 
coDstaut  intercourse  from  the  nor^wes^  with  tbe 
CreetM  and  other  iiations  in  the  south,  throqgh  the 
medium  of  the  most  active  and  influential  chiefs  jp 
their  employment.  These  intrigues  however,  werfi^iit* 
tended  with  but  very  partial  success.  The  (DhiiolEft* 
saws,  Cherokees,  and  Choctaws  remained  frieAdQy 
through  the  whole  war;  and  only  a  few  individuals 
ihm  most  abandoned  and  vicious,  of  the  Greek  natlcm, 
^Id  be  induced  at  an  early  period  to  take  up  the  toma- 
hawk against  us.'     .*-,-*    ^.-^il/'vvt,,    ■,.._..         ■'■'-'-  ''^  "^

tinuance^of  the  evil  at  last  excited  the  utmost  indigna- 
tiott^in  the  people  of  Tenflessee,  and  their  legislatute

having  beaten  the  enemy  in  several  skirmishes,  in 
which  tliey  lost  about  50  of  their  warrior*.  It  was  the 
opinion  of  colonel  Hawkins,  and  also  of  general  Hamp.

these  transactions^  that  we  might  now  safely  rely  on

3,vit  would  doubtless  iiave  been  good  policy  on  the

WiftLE  the  treaty  with  the  Creeks  wm  oa  haiid  ge^ 
semi  Jackscm  despatched  a  messenger  io  the  B|)ftiush

the  Bpanisb  territory  5  aftd  to  know  why  the  governor, 
wlba  wm  the  functionary  of  a  nentral  power,  had  pre. 
sumed  to  aid  and  abet  the  Indians,  and  to  afford  them 
a  sanctuaiy  in  his  dominions^    The  governor  seemed 
to  be  hi|^iy  exasperated  at  the  demand,  affected  to 
iaow  nothing  of  the  hostile  chiefs,  and  returned  a  ver- 
bal answer  of  an  ambiguous  but  rather  menacing  c||a- 
racfer.    The  treaty  being  at  hist  concluded,  and  gene-

I  Bat  the  srmed  a^gpdilofi  it  Peflnaoola,  who  -^^^ 
sent  in  advance  of^tbe  txptuliiion^lo  seduce  the  people 
of  Louisiana  from  their  allegiance,  and  lo  Ian  the  em- 
bers  of  the  Greek  war,  andif  possible  procure  a  few 
.more  scalps  of  wpm^n  and  (jfiildc^i,  had  still  another 
and  more  degrading  task  to  perform  for  their  master — 
to  iolicit  (m  uUianee  voith  a  nest  ofj^iratea  ton  the  island 
of  Baitataria,  sitqated  to  the  west  of  New  Orleans* 
The  British  being  themselves  nothing  more  than  a  great 
uOst  of  pirates  on  a  large  island,  found  nO  tliffietdty-nor 
felt^ie  least  degradation  in  stooping  to  this  measure. 
On  the  last  day  of  August,  captain  Lockyer  of  the 
navyi  and  captain  1|' Williams  of  the  army,  weredep- 
patched  on  this  enbas^  in  tlie  brig  Sophia,  with  let. 
ters  from  both  colonel  Nichols  ;a|id  ur  William  H. 
Percys  the  navM'Coiamftnder,  to  Lafite  the  captiin  of 
the  pirates!  in  which  they  slicked  him  to  join  the  firi- 
tishcaiide  with  Ids  armed  vessels  and  troops,  and  ten- 
dered  him  the  rank  of  captain  in  the  British  service^ 
together  with  a  l&ounty  in  land  to  all  his  iDllowers  on 
the  return  of  peace.  They  had  the  mortification  how- 
aver  to  meet  with  a  Refusal. :  Laftte  ^dained  to  asso- 
einte  himadtf  urtth  the  Britiiih marauders  against  his 
adopted  country,  although  he  had  raised  his  rebellious 
liaiMls'to  nb  and  muvdev  her  dtizens. 

The^assemblageat  Barrataria  was  composed  of  rene? 
oadoes  from  all  nations,  who  had  estaldished  them- 
selves on  that  island,  ajid  robbed  the  commerce  of  the 
gulf  for  several  years  past,  smuggling  thw  plundered 
goods  into  New  Orlmns^  where  they  had  many  friends 
H^d  associates.  Their  commander  Lafite/  was  origin- 
ally acaptain  in  the  French  service^  ^1  their  whiOl^ 
fofce  at  this  time  was  about  800  men,  and  twenty  i»ii^
